john mccain only won 31% of latino voters. a pew poll just this year show latino voters prefer bigger government to smaller government. that could be the reason, they're more in line with president obama. >> greta: byron? >> it's a two-fer for president obama, trying to appeal to hispanic voters, trying to make romney feel uncomfortable, because romney had to take hard-line positions. remember his debates with rick perry back in the primaries where romney was tougher on immigration than perry was? i think the issue is that i think some of romney's positions are closer to where public opinion is right now, especially about e-verify, making sure that people are here legally before they can have a job. so i'm not sure how -- certainly with republicans, this is much better for romney to be where he is. >> greta: do you have the sense that the republicans have sort of given up on the latino votes, not going after it right now? >> i think if they give up they're giving up on the election. >> greta: are they actively going after it?
